A friend of mine had a stack of old Soldier of Fortune magazines as well as a US Cavalry mail-order catalog when I was a kid and this reminds me of all the ridiculous bullshit you'd see in that. Apparently US Cavalry went out of business in 2013, which is much later than I would have expected.

is this thing working
I got a peanut butter shot and it sucked but the only real memory I have of 30th AG is the dude in front of me getting it, taking 3 steps and then faceplanting on the (wisely padded) floor. They got him up, he said he was good, took a step, faceplanted again. They sternal rubbed him and he got up again, they held him for a minute, and then he dropped again and they brought the salts out. The dude looked like a 2x4 falling over every time.

I went through the entry process for both enlisted and officer and I definitely can say the officer one involved much less bending over and butthole spreading. Not zero, but less.

Also the history interview with the doctor that did the officer medical screening was more like “you’ve never smoked weed, wink wink, RIGHT????” versus a 100 year old doctor yelling at me in a thick nearly incomprehensible accent that I better be telling him the truth and that I’ll go to prison at ADX Florence or something if I lied.

You can massage your own rear end with a broom stick with the pointy end or like a rolling pin (which is what we did).

Also not wearing a shirt is only authorized in the head/shower area.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

My old man has two fukken gnarly smallpox shot scars from two separate vaccinations (one when he was a little boy, and one when he joined the navy) and one has a fat keloid on it that he told me as a little boy was from where a mummy grabbed him in Egypt.

He told me later that his real Egypt story is that he and a buddy were on shore leave and were getting fukken smashed on Coptic liquor. Dad was drinking it straight, his buddy was chasing with water. Dad ended up with a week long hang-over, buddy ended up losing part of his colon to a Egyptian parasite picked up from the local water.

Is it stolen valor to wear military clothing (not pts/uniform, but logo'ed stuff) as non-military if you admit to being a civilian immediately?

Why? So far he's made the smarter, better decision.

Edit: Obviously I laughed at him behind his back. I realize I also missed an opp to play the NCO card and gently caress him up a little bit.

Figure it is like D.A.R.E. shirts. Anybody who wears that is doing it ironically, and almost certainly holding.

I could actually see Charlie having served. He seems like the type that would generally poo poo the ASVAB, but score insanely high on some category that the recruiter could not pass up and Charlie would not know what the gently caress was going on and just go with it. Hijinks ensue.

I was at somebody's PhD defense, the topic was military history and someone asked them if they served because of the way they carried themselves, and possibly the buzzcut. Nope!
